| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of Ferdinand I standing in three-quarter view to the right, clad in ornate armour with a draped mantle, wearing an open crown. The king holds a long sceptre or cross-tipped sword vertically in his right hand and grasps a globus cruciger or orb in his left. The figure is rendered in the vigorous late-Gothic style characteristic of Habsburg hammered gold coinage, with finely detailed plate armour visible at the legs and torso. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend disposed around the periphery of the field. |
